We Offer Bread & Wine, and All We Have

Start with a review with your child.  Look through the handouts with your child, asking what he or she remembers or has questions about.

Home Activity

Giving Gifts at Home

Picture
A home is a happier place when everyone gives each other gifts all week long – but they don't have to be things you've purchased and gift-wrapped. Being helpful and grateful to each other takes continuous practice and no one does it perfectly. We have to practice doing it daily. 

The take-home page for this week has ideas for fostering a happier home in which everyone can take responsibility to make life easier for all the others. Don't underestimate what children can be taught to do at a young age.
